ABC Wednesday

Lichtburg – fortress of light or light castle

The famous cinema Lichtburg, Essen, Germany

From Wikipedia: 
The Lichtburg in Essen was built as a result of the city general plan of 1924, which included the redevelopment of the Burgplatz in the city centre by Die Burgplatz-Bau AG, a consortium of city government and private investors, to include a large new cinema within an office building, in order to give the city centre "urban flair"
The main auditorium now seats 1,250 and is still the largest cinema auditorium in Germany.The stage behind the screen enables the space to also be used for theatrical and cabaret performances. The small secondary auditorium below ground level seats 150 and is named for the Indian actor Sabu.

UFO on a tower - or a symbol from Lünen

Lüntec-Tower and office building in the technology park, Lünen, yesterday

A former winding tower from the coal mine from 1922. Now the symbol from the Lüntec technology park. Mining stopped in 1992, the capsule on top was build in 1995 and the technolgy park opend as part of the structural change in the Ruhr district (German Ruhrgebiet).

Popularly called Colani-Ei, after the designer Luigi Colani and the egg-shape. Or it is called UFO. Seen from a distance it does actually look like.

I posted a lot of pictures from this "UFO tower" before, all with the label UFO

but for the first time I took this view with the sign

One more morning view

Found this one is different from the hundreds I posted here before. Straight from the tab (next time I bring the big camera). Right now. But it is an advantage to publish from the train, while I wait to continue my way to work.

As usual this station shots I took while on my way to work. In the last weeks I took a lot of pictures, but my evening time was filled with other things, mainly for my work. So less time for blogging. But it's always on my mind.

Subway station Bochum

Come with me under ground and have a look.

After thinking about this weeks ABC Wednesday, I deceided to link this.
My letter U is for underground.

This station "Bochumer Verein / Jahrhunderthalle Bochum" has a colorful play with light before the tram arrives.
In this one I did some editing.
The last shot is the original.

The original. I love the photo opportunities here.

Kite Festival Drachenfest Lünen, last Saturday

... Night or night flying, an attraction from the Kite Festival in my town. And it was a big show with illuminated kites, kites with fire spirals on it and a firework: A fantastic evening, even when the rain started with the beginning of the night show.
Linked to ABC Wednesday.

To see more kite photos from the years before look here.

And I have lots of photos. It is the one year thing where I always shoot.
